Please visit this site for me. I'm having a little trouble with the explanation.

Note however that you can find a similar explanation in all textbooks, so I'm in no way questioning the validity of the information.
The average force that the wall exerts on the molecule is impulse/ time (N's second law). But the time they have made use of, is the time for a 'round trip'. Shouldn't it be the time taken for the collision?
